provide protection for the module during transit.
Please retain the shipping cartons in case
subsequent shipping of the product becomes
necessary.

Product Description

The C AD 3320 D (European version) / C AD 3321 D
(US version) is a high quality dual channel analog
audio to AES converter designed primarily for
broadcast and professional applications.

The Module accepts balanced analog audio
inputs and converts these to 24 bit AES digital
streams. Sampling rates of 32KHz, 44.1KHz, 48KHz
and 96KHz are supported. The converter can be
locked to external video reference, external AES
reference or internal reference. Input full scale
ranging is adjustable and an internal test tone
generator is also provided.

The module has a built in micro-controller with local
controls, status and alarm indicators and well as
internal flash ram for storing setups. Remote control
and remote status monitoring is possible when used
with the one of the available controller options and
LYNX control software.

The C AD 3320 D / C AD 3321 D is part of the 3000
series of MiniModules, which offer high quality,
modularity and flexibility in a very small form factor
ideal for applications where space is at a premium.

The modules can be used either stand alone using
the optional power supply brick, or as part of a

tightly integrated space saving system where up to
10 MiniModules can be mounted utilizing the
optional LYNX R FR 3005 / 3010 rack housing. This
includes integrated power supply and optional
remote control interfaces.

Functional Diagram

Figure 1 below is the basic functional diagram for
the C AD 3320 D / C AD 3321 D MiniModule.

Module Layout

Figure 2 shows the physical layout of the C AD 3320
D / C AD 3321 D MiniModule. This module utilizes
two SubD connectors for the audio input and
outputs and AES reference. Reference video is a
BNC connection. Please refer the connections
section of this manual for wiring details for the
connectors.

If the module is being used in a stand alone
application then the optional power supply (R PS
3001 E, R PS 3001 U or R PS 3003-3) is required to
power the module (not shown)
